Rothstein on Hop...

[OrangeXtreme]

Will be very interesting to see how deep Mike Hopkins extends Washington's rotation. Huskies return eight guys and have three capable freshmen. 9? 10? 11?

So much DeAndre Kane in Jaylen Nowell...

Washington sophomore Naz Carter shining here at practice. Potential Glue Guy. Has some Jarrey Foster in his game.

Early prediction on Washington's starting five: David Crisp, Jaylen Nowell, Matisse Thybulle, Noah Dickerson, Sam Timmins.

Washington freshman Elijah Hardy could play himself into regular minutes because of his ability to set the table. Gives Huskies what they didn't have last year: a pure PG.

Seattle is a long ways from Syracuse, but Mike Hopkins hasn't forgotten his roots: Large portions of today's practice were spent on the 2-3 zone.

Ha. Imagine one day we play Washington in the big dance one day, we may end up running into our demise... our own zone

Too bad we can't do a home and home with them. I would love to see the Cuse play out there (and go)

If we are going to lose I don't mind losing to hop.

I hate losing what I said was if its going to happen good for hop. Never said I wanted to lose to him.

Hop is so easy to root for, he's turned me into a Washington fan.
